Economy Remains Un salvageable, According to Martin Suter's Assertion
Martin Suter, a renowned Swiss author, has expressed concerns about the influence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on creative professions, such as writing, in interviews and his works. He raises questions about the acceptability of AI as a tool in the arts, while also questioning the role of traditional handcrafted skills.
In an interview with Der Spiegel, Suter expressed his belief that AI is replacing jobs that previously required diligence, from authorship to legal and medical fields. He ponders what people will do with their additional free time due to increased efficiency and AI, especially for those who are diligent and can complete their work early.
Suter, who describes himself as a lazy person, argues that if people only work four days a week, they will need to find something to occupy their time, especially if they can finish their work ahead of schedule. He believes that AI will process precedents for lawyers and read specialist reports for doctors, tasks that previously required diligence.
Despite these concerns, Suter is calm about the possibility of AI writing books in his style. He asserts that he would be able to discern if an AI wrote a book in his style. However, he does not explicitly state a clear, comprehensive position regarding the future of employment in the context of AI.
Suter's personal attitude towards work is that he could easily imagine not doing it, but has been doing it for a long time. His reflections on the impact of AI on employment and creativity serve as a thought-provoking discussion for the future of work and the arts.
